Maybe, but until I can *hold one* it's blah.

Pros:
A little smaller - but not much lighter.
OLED display could be great - could be a wash. (I bought a 65" OLED TV and it's by far the most impressive tech product I've bought in the last 8 years.)
FACE ID doesn't help unlock on your pocket - but if in real life it's fast and reliable it'll probably be a wash.
Rear camera seems like it's the same on on the 8 plus.
Front selfie camera is better - not sure if *I* need it to be.
Wireless changing is blah.
Improved flash is nice.

Holding it will make the difference - if it feels a lot smaller while having the same view able area then the price difference won't really matter. ($200 over a 12 or 24 month no interest loan is like $9.00 a month.)

>- 8/8s will sell like gangbusters
This is the sweet sot for me. Unless the cameras on the iPhone X are way better, or the smaller size just feels a lot better then I'll get an 8 plus.

>- iWatch3 will sell like gangbusters
I got my Series 2 less than a year ago. I don't feel it needs LTE - the improved heart rate monitor would be nice though. I'll probably sell my Series 2 and get a non-LTE one.

Did they explain how the LTE monthly service works? If it's $10 a month then it's not worth it for me.

>Some gripes from the conference:
>
>- No mention on the revamped UI on a phone with no home
>button
I bet this is confusing to explain - not great to start using, and then quickly becomes second nature.

>Is that reasonable? Can we actually have a normal discussion
>without emotions coloring our responses?


Why doesn't this phone solve world hunger? Why doesn't Apple pay ME to own one?

Until Apple can INNOVATE then it is DOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEEDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
